DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

#DPxDC #dcxdp #Danny makes a card game to save the world. #Technically he worded the ritual so that they had to ‘beat’ him as those are the most powerful barriers and most reliable. #keys can just get lost or stolen (like the one to Pariah’s Coffin) #A riddle would be useless once someone figured out the answer. Like how no one takes the sphynx seriously anymore. #(Sorry Tuck. But it’s true). #And there is NO WAY Danny is just leaving a hole open for anyone to pass through. No thank you! #So…beating him. But it’s not like Danny wanted to fight so…he edited the ritual a TINY bit. Card games are good. Much less painful too. #Danny Tucker and Sam made the most complicated card game they could imagine. #It’s based on their strategies for fighting ghosts. Capturing them in thermoses. And MUCH based on a on field battle strategy. #It often requires spontaneous thinking on the spot. So Danny? In his ELEMNT. It doubles as practice for his actual ghost battles too. #They had SO much fun making this. #Sam added an entire series of plant cards that act as traps and healing ointments and duds that just take up the field. #Tucker added legitimate hyroglyphics combined with Latin as well as English and ghost speak. #Yes. You actually have to speak that language to play. With proper pronunciation. (Amity Parker’s think the three are talking gibberish.) #I headcanon Sam and Tucker are fluent in Ghost. #Constantine WILL figure this game out SO HELP HIM! #Some of the cards also have combinations related to constellations either in name or placement on the board. #By the way the board is based on a Hexagonal summoning circle with Rhunes along the edges #And the placement of the cards on the board and on what rhune MATTERS. #Also the cards move disintegrate and have certain abilities. Think of Harry Potter Wizard Chess. #But they are normal when Danny plays at school. This is just for ✨effect✨ Against invaders. #Danny faces multiple opponents. He also halts alien invasions. #While Danny COULD stop crime on earth he’s not sure how to fight a normal human and hold back so he sticks to ghosts. #The Justice league are going crazy trying to figure out who this entity is and after deep research are convinced this is some sort of #Ancient being who has protected earth for millenia. They have paintings on ruins and everything. #Danny is not aware they think this. #Raven starts praying to Danny as if he is a god and wrangles the other Teen Titans into doing so as well. Danny is still unaware of this. #Danny is not a King or an ancient. Just a very VERY strong ghost.

I wonder how common knowledge it is that "Cazador" is just... it just means "Hunter" in Spanish. It's just literally Hunter.

Which can sound menacing and intimidating if we interpret it in kind of an "ooh, skulking in the shadows, hunting his prey" kinda way (complete with spooky finger-wiggles), BUT it also carries the possibility that he's that upper middle-class white kid in 4th grade whose equally upper middle-class white mom always has to go yell at the teachers for not letting him eat glue.

In addition, "Szarr" (which I think is meant to be reminiscent of "czar", the monarch) with this spelling is just the Hungarian word for "shit" with an extra "r" tacked onto the end, so I'm having some difficulty being scared of Shit-Hunter, the vampire lord

#bg3 astarion #astarion #baldur's gate 3 #astarion ancunin #cazador szarr #the biggest perk of speaking multiple languages is literally that sometimes it makes things really funny #at least that's what i notice most often #maybe right on par with it being easier to find package instructions that I can understand

i should be sleeping but i do want to reiterate how much i love that our collective fan community and also the streamers are constantly like, so new members when? new language when? a teaser drops and we're all like germans???? german time????? asiatic language time??????? new faces??? new friends?? new communities????

i've said this before but it just constantly makes me feel all warm n fuzzy to see it. i'm really happy we're all so excited and united in this.

#qsmp #shut up vic #block game brainrot #this was also why purg2 was great for me specifically #like goddamn was that such a chance for me (and others) to meet streamers in an accessible setting #i only really speak english and half french so this was the first time i actually got to watch any aldo and understand more than every like #tenth word out of his mouth lmfao i get SO LOST #also was extremely fun bc goddamn for a while i rly thought i just Did Not Understand French #bc hearing the qsmp french speakers i'm like. damn. i'm lost. i get lost after like a sentence or two idk i'm so bad at understanding them #but dude holy shit i had kenny on while i did work fully like 5 ft from my phone and i was FOLLOWING #I WAS KEEPING UP???? LIKE THAT WAS INSANE so shoutout kenny for speaking french i can understand i rly appreciate the confidence boost #anyway i hope hope hope to see new members soon yesyes #be it purg2 returners (i have my wishlist but the wishlist does have Everyone soooo i win) or a new language!!! OR MULTIPLE 🙏 WOULD BE NEAT #i have said before that i think it would be fun if they drop two+ languages in at the same time #have the new languages work together to do puzzles and get used to the translations before dropping the full force of like #20-30 odd streamers who are unbelievably loud and extremely excited to meet them #would mayyyybe mitigate some of the french arrival where everyone DESCENDED on them and it was SO LOUD lmfao #anyway i will now sleep it just makes me happy to see everytime i see it #i'm excited to meet (hypothetical) everyone too <3

[bioethicists]

does anyone else who speaks or interacts with multiple languages get just. a totally fucked algorithm of ads on youtube etc? i would say the BULK of my youtube ads are in spanish for things that do not apply to me + i still routinely get ads in modern hebrew, a language i do not speak at all, from the israeli government about COVID???

#is there smth about multiple languages that makes the algorithms less accurate? #also why the hebrew??? i don't speak this??? #i mean i've googled biblical hebrew words before with like 'what is the root of ___' #can ads see what keyboards i have on my iphone???

[scionshtola]

do you think cori could get. i forgot the words for what the scions are. a phd in chocobo raising

#shtola: you can speak multiple ancient languages. are assisting in developing tech for ppl channeling aether in ppl who need help. #you’re helping me learn how to travel to other stars. and you want to study chocobo raising? #cori with cilantro and pepper behind her: yes 😌 #i need a text post tag

[tj-crochets]

Hey y’all! Do you know of any good sites to learn non-baby ASL for phrases like can I pet your dog, are you okay, do you need help, please help me, or other things like that? Mostly I just want to be able to communicate with one of my neighbors in an emergency, but also she walks her dogs around the neighborhood and they are adorable and I really want to be able to ask if I can pet them, but googling it is just getting me baby ASL tutorial videos and idk if that’s the same

#the person behind the yarn #ideally I want to learn all those phrases and any other important emergency phrases in every language spoken in my neighborhood #having to evacuate from fires back in california kinda instilled in me a like...you MUST be able to communicate with the community #and you MUST be able to get out in case of an emergency #and I can't drive. so I guess I should also learn #please help I can't drive so I can't evacuate or something like that #my neighbor's parents are long term visiting from India and do not speak like any English at all #so I also want to learn phrases like this (except maybe the can I pet your dog one) in a language they do understand #but idk which one that is yet. I only talked to that neighbor once but I've had a few charades conversations with his dad #nice dude! but I know there are multiple languages it could be and I want to get it right #is this all overkill: probably yet. Would it be better to pick one language and learn it fluently so I could really talk to that neighbor: #possibly! but idk if I can #I do think I can learn helpful emergency phrases in several languages though

#would guess he has brown eyes but honestly i have no clue #also im 99% sure sneegen said he can speak multiple languages #which. 😍 but #i need to be stopped

[mobius-m-mobius]

feel free to ignore this but omg you know thai?????? im beyond elated omg???? ALSO that tag is basically the equivalent of incoherent crying sound like ‘waaaahhh sniff sob wailing waeeee’ lmao 😂 (oh your thai spelling is perfect btw)

Omg no I felt the exact same when I saw your tags!! Which definitely had me cracking up because there's nothing better than sobbing incoherently over Lokius as all of us are proof of every day lmao 🤣

I'm half Thai but grew up in the US having never been taught the language and didn't get into anything Thai related until college so the level at which I can speak/understand anything is tragically low and what mainly gets me by is watching more Thai shows than English and Google Translate, lol 😅 But I was SO excited seeing you know Thai too, what a cool thing to share in the fandom 🥰💖

#sadly can't underestimate my language skills enough haha i'd love to be fluent more than anything #and can at least understand a decent amount but speak like ten words and have to translate anything written multiple times #just glad i managed enough to recognize your tag lol and seriously tysm for sending this!! #always love reading your tags anyway so to see thai there was such an amazing surprise and lokius deserves all the love in the world 🥺 #hope you're doing well and have a great week ahead 💖💖 #ask

[apersonwholikeslotus]

alright, this is apparently a thing now so I'm jumping on the train.

so if nations were public knowledge (which I feel like in canon they are...?) historians and linguists would literally love them with all their being.

like, they're constantly being invited to museums and universities to give speeches on stuff people barely know anything about, cue a bunch of excited nerds scribbling down as much info as they can.

'reconstructed' proto languages aren't really a thing, like for proto-germanic someone just went to all the germanic countries and went 'do u know proto-germanic?' and next thing you know Denmark and Sweden had dedicated themselves to trying to write a dictionary cause they're the only two who are still fluent-ish in it.

#I hc even after the language split #Germania went #'we are not speaking multiple languages' #and all of his kids spoke proto germanic #hetalia #hetalia hc #aph denmark #hws denmark #aph sweden #hws sweden #Njal and Björn getting into fights bc 'that wasn't a real word' 'does it matter? no on can contradict us :\

[8rujaa]

okay, i might let people in

#i’ve been nonstop talking to this person for a few days now #like nonstop we’ll have multiple convos going at once and having to use voice messages to catch up to everything lol #our conversations have yet to die since the first one we’ve had #it feels very very very refreshing to find someone who can keep up #and we have so many things in common but like i’ve always found myself to be a lil weird and have out of the ordinary interests #not trying to say that ‘i’m not like other girls’ LMFAO but it’s hard to find ppl with this many things in common #like one or two things i get but we’ve been able to connect on so many things #even like chronic pain which like is nice to find someone who understands #so now i’m like actually excited for the first time about meeting someone #i’m very very excited and they’re so so so sweet #i feel like i can always tell who’s been in therapy because we tend to carry conversations in a similar way … does that make sense??? 🤣 #like u know how there’s ‘gentle parenting’ #i feel like there’s a specific way people who have been in therapy speak to others #they’re always so mindful of boundaries and also reciprocal #in conversations #we also have the same taste in music which is wild cuz i listen to every genre in existence and music from many different languages/culture #our spotify blend goes crazy 🤣🤣 #we’ve only been talking for a week so i’m trying not to get my hopes up but im just excited 😆😆😆 #lmao but like even if we just end up becoming friends i’m still happy to meet someone who’s so similar :D #i’ve been wanting friends who also struggle with the same things so we can do selfcare things together or maybe just chill on high pain day #and we will know how to be there for each other a little better than ppl who don’t get it.. i crave that real bad 🥲 #i realize i sound delulu as fuck cuz i haven’t even met them in person but i can already tell we’re going to get along 😌😌😌😌 #i’m aware of how delulu i sound and maybe i’m getting my hopes up but it truly does feel like i was waiting for someone like this 🥹

[elhnrt]

sometimes the things you post make zero sense to me and idk if its the language barrier or what but i like it keeps me on my toes

don't worry, i barely make sense in english on the best of days. i've been watching the wire lately btw you should check it out

#ppppp #lenask #anonymous #btw i speak 3 languages and can converse in multiple others feel free to talk in your native one at any time

[dracolizardlars]

this is unbelievably niche and will never ever be relevant to probably anyone reading this but here's some life advice: never try translating Cornish-language phrases. accept that you will never know what it means. otherwise there is only frustration awaiting you

#there is one singular cornish dictionary online and it is missing so so so many words #and the words it has are like 'ya this can mean 2-6 different things depends on the context' #I was just curious about the song titles in this album of cornish trad folk music but I guess I'll go fuck myself #draco speaks #recently I saw cornish language graffitti on a train and it was 3 words but it still took me multiple minutes to figure out what it said

Lumine and Languages

Part of my Immortal!Traveler Headcanons

Lumine and Aether have been thru plenty if worlds. They probably had to learn multiple languages just to inderstand anything. You know the more languages you learn, the easier you pick up on them.

So Lumine could know hundred of languages and tongues. Though she might be rusty in some of them bc she hasn't had to speak or practice after leaving a world. It also makes her either very skilled or a master at grasping languages.

Let's be real. Paimon wouldn't be the most talented teacher. It's canon at the beginning that Paimon was the first person she met after 500 years and that landed her the job of teaching Lumine Teyvat's language. But while Paimon could have lots of knowledge idk on how good she would be in teaching a whole language to an alien.

Unless Lumine is already used to picking up different ways of speaking. All she needs is a few pointers and some interaction then she's made incredible progress. Practically learned how to read and write the native tongue in a month.

Also on Teyvat's language. In-game it seems to be English and thats it. (minus Hilichurlian ofc dam u Ela Musk and maybe Khaenr'iah but I mean commonly used languages) But in a world building and logical perspective, it made sense if every nation had its own language. Obviously it the language of the country each nation was inspired by. (Monstadt = German)

Honestly there's a lot of shenanigans that could ensue with different languages in canon and the Traveler.

Lumine could just easily pretend to not understand a lick of Inazuman. All the while she's picking up everything people say around her bc they lower their guard around a foreigner.

Childe not knowing Lumine could speak Snezhnaya until she gets annoyed enough at him to cuss him out in his native tongue. (He thought her accent was cute, also wow he didn't even know some of those swear words)

Lumine calling her friends in Monstadt endearing terms in their language for the first time and it puts some of them in shock then flustered. (I wanna call Diluc Liebling to his face and watch him turn red)

Conversing with Zhongli in Liyuean (idk if that's what its called) bc he talks so much maybe he'd be happy speaking in his native dialec. Also using an ancient Liyuean dialect makes him nostalgic.

Saying Sumeru character names how a native would say it. They're all impressed at Lumine's pronunciation. Al-Haitham digs for info on how many languages she knows and is surprised to know she can speak one from every nation and some ancient ones.

(I just realized Al-Haitham in game says u had to know at least 20 languages to graduate the Akademiya. But we never hear anything about other languages besides a few?? Do ancient languages count? How many are there in Teyvat? I wasn't expecting double digits)

And lastly....

Lumine and her brother speaking to each other in their mother tongue. A dead language at this point, with only two people knowing and using it. But they had always made sure to speak to each other that way. One part to keep it alive, and two, to keep private conversation private.

Now she's alone without her brother. Sometimes she'll speak to herself in her language or sing a song from home. It never fails to make her sad but comforted too.

Then one of her friends hears her. Curiouse, they ask her to teach them a few words. Her heart feels just a little bit lighter when they say a sentence in her mother tongue.

#genshin #genshin impact #genshin headcanons #genshin impact lumine #genshin lumine #genshin traveler #More lumine brainrot #She totally beats everyone in just how many languages she can speak #Akademiya eat your heart out #She blows past 20 language that means she graduates #Also i have way more ideas on Tey at having multiple languages #Yeah i know we've got hilichurlian and Khaenr'iah but this is more fun

[girlfictions]

how many languages do you know?

to be honest i would only feel confident saying that i actually "know" english i fear 🙁 my mother tongue is urdu but i'm by no means fluent and i learned chinese and spanish throughout school but my grasp on both is rather rudimentary... aside from that i know the tiniest amounts of dutch and bahasa melayu and i can read arabic but cannot tell you the translation <- a fun benefit of growing up with islam

#this was just the most roundabout way ever to say im monolingual NKSJDFHVJFS #my parents didnt speak much urdu to me when i was young and i really wish they had #bc i still feel awkward speaking it sometimes #ppl who can speak multiple languages fluently are seriously the coolest ppl ever i'm so in awe of them

[ahalliance]

i be like ‘hey i think it’s stupid that so many young french kids have this random ass disdain towards English’ and then they set us a really long academic text written in English to read in a class that has absolutely nothing to do with English

#those people who have a one sides rivalry with the English Language and their peers who speak it r still stupid tho #but i get how grating it can get to be studying a subject In French and then be told ‘oh i’m sure you guys are capable of reading English’ #and be set a 38 page english article to read lmao #obviously if ur going into academia u can’t avoid texts in diff languages forever lmao like ur expected to be able to read texts in multiple #languages here #german italian french english are the big ones #but it’s still very ‘adapt or die’ of them when i don’t think they necessarily need to be #like . there are other texts about this subject written In French and Not English #idc either way in the end but i feel like it could have just been easier to find a French text ? #jay rambles
